if I were to purchase a new iPhone, unlocked and all that, will I be charged an activation fee if I just put my old SIM card from my old iPhone into it?
That's where I'm not sure. I hardly buy new phones. Being in college and broke lol.I doubt it. Would they charge you every time you swapped phones with your SIM card? I'm guessing the activation occurs if you get a new SIM card added to your account.
It might help if you mention what carrier's service you have on your old SIMif I were to purchase a new iPhone, unlocked and all that, will I be charged an activation fee if I just put my old SIM card from my old iPhone into it?

activation fee is for a "line" of service, not the device. as long as you're using the same account, there'll not be another activation feeSorry! I thought I did.
I have AT&T service.
Looking at getting an "inactivated device" through Best Buy so wasn't sure

I believe the activation fee comes in, if you buy a phone from them on the NEXT plan.
I have switched SIM card on my ATT account many times and there is no activation fee.
Generally stay out of the ATT stores as They are there to make money.
That's good advice for ANY carrier!I have switched SIM card on my ATT account many times and there is no activation fee.

haha thank you, I am still debating if I wanna do it or not. Leaning towards it but also still have the phone 7 coming soon..Enjoy you new phone!
Best buy is always $50 more as long as I have ever looked there.It looks like Best Buy is already charging an extra $51.00 from the Apple Store Price. An activation fee on top of that would be insult to injury.
Maybe I'm missing something?
Anyway, I have swapped AT&T SIMs on two Apple Store SIM Free devices "fee free" using the original micro-SIM from an AT&T iPhone 5.
